Prenylflavonoid glycoside enzymatic conjugation: SuntoryRecent Research Landscape

Low natural yields of specific bioactive flavonoids limit commercial production efficiency. These genetic levers enable metabolic engineering of host organisms to synthesize high-value C-glycosides and methylated flavones.

What technical problems is Suntory addressing in Prenylflavonoid glycoside enzymatic conjugation?

Limited secondary metabolite yield

(6)evidences

Inconsistent metabolic pathways in ornamental plants lead to unpredictable color patterns. Controlling these genetic and environmental factors ensures commercial aesthetic uniformity.

Poor prenylflavonoid water solubility

(4)evidences

Insufficient enzymatic conversion rates and low yields of specific glycosylated secondary metabolites. Overcoming these limitations allows for the scalable production of rare bioactive compounds.
